Dropbox has a bunch of projects in the pipeline, and we have an ongoing cycle of revamping our entire experience across web, client, and mobile. There are countless UX challenges and tons of pixels for you to push. We feel like we're in a unique position to change the way people interact with their digital stuff.

Responsibilities

You're actively involved in defining product strategy.

Your team collaboration skills are unparalleled.

You thrive in an environment with short feedback loops.

Requirements

You're an experience whisperer, and you can distill complicated problems into simple and elegant solutions.

An understanding of what makes an experience good or bad is critical. You can think through user problems, find reasonable solutions, mock them up in detail, and work with engineers to build them.

We love making things beautiful and hope you feel the same. You have a deep understanding of composition, balance, symmetry, and white space.

You have a highly refined aesthetic sense and can both work within and expand the Dropbox style.

You're a self-starter who actively seeks ways to make the Dropbox experience both visually appealing and easy to use.

You look for opportunities to solve problems in unusual and innovative ways.

You understand the technical limitations and liberties behind your decisions and have enough chops to communicate your ideas to our engineers.

Experience designing for the web and understanding how to apply both form and function within it while maintaining simplicity.

You construct your own iconography, set your own guidelines, and build easy-to-navigate documents.

You read everything and will paste an html heart character before your first name on the next page.

You want to work on a team of the world's best software designers and engineers, building a product that you use every single day!
